Displaying Tables

Both the table parameters and the elements values can be displayed. The former are shown using the SHOW command Table values are listed out by the PRINT and READ commands, the output formatting being done using the display format associated with each column. Supported formats are Fortran-77 standard formats and special display formats to accommodate sexagesimal and time values. Finally table values can be plotted on a graphic device or display unit using the PLOT or OVERPLOT and LOAD command respectively. A list of these commands is given in Table 5.3.
